Incidentally, we ended up with some damn good photos - in fact, they were what inspired me to finally get a camera and learn to take some of my own.
As another aside, I was astounded by the number of _bad_ wedding photographers we looked at before finally finding one. One guy showed us a bunch of stuff that was out of focus and with the tops of heads cut off. Another one couldn't meet with us himself so we had to talk to his mother instead. She was nice enough to tell us that, "He tried to be a full time photographer, but he couldn't make it work. So now he has a real job too." Scary stuff.

Suddenly, I was jerked out of the line by the bride. She got me up to the
front of the food line and told everyone that I needed food to keep up my
strength. No one objected.
Especially after she dragged her new husband up to the front of the line
AGAIN, and said the same thing.
He's got to keep up _his_ strength, too... <g>
Great little bride there!

I get food at all the weddings I shoot. It's not stated on a contract. The
bride or groom know I work hard and deserve some their offerings of food for
the guest.
